I read a quote saying (bible, service, New Testament, dragon)

[Snakedragon]

(From the new testament) which said: "It is better to lay with a prostitute and pay the price of a loaf of bread, rather than betray your wife and lose everything"

Doesn't that mean that you should not marry if you would commit adultery, and just sleep with prostitutes instead?

I'd be of better service to you if I knew where that came from.

If you don't mind.

Welcome Snakedragon. Where in the Bible did you find this?

It was in one R.E lesson last year where i was reading the New Testament. I'm not sure of the place of the bible though, but what I wrote above is pretty much what the quote is (about 90% unaltered)

It would actually be helpful if you could find it, but I'll try looking it up.

I've read the Bible twice, Good News and official RC versions, and this is definitely not in the NT. You've been misinformed, Snakedragon.

I'll have a try next time I'm in school- I do not own any bibles.

Is it this:

24 to preserve you from the wife of another,
from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
26 for a prostitute's fee is only a loaf of bread,
but the wife of another stalks a man's very life.

[Bishka]

I'm not finding it.

@Faint:

but the wife of another stalks a man's very life.

That's it

My interpretation is that a prostitute is cheap, so go to them if you dont want to commit yourself to marriage, rather than losing everything if you commit adultery on your wife
